ICD-10 Code F13.28 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.28 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorders
What it is
This code identifies dependence on sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs with another substance-induced disorder caused by the same class. Use it when the record shows both dependence and a related induced condition, not just use alone.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include compulsive use, tolerance, withdrawal, and evidence of an additional drug-induced disorder from sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use.
When to use this code
Use F13.28 when the provider documents dependence plus another sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic-induced disorder, such as a specified mental or behavioral complication. Confirm that the induced disorder is attributable to this drug class and not another substance. If the note is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for simple use, abuse, or dependence without an additional induced disorder. It is also incorrect when the disorder is caused by another drug class or when the chart does not support dependence.
Coding tip
Verify both elements in the documentation: dependence and the separate sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic-induced disorder.
